During the warm summer months, the community can expect to receive Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) notices from SCE during extreme weather conditions. SCE will communicate directly to customers who may be impacted. These proactive shutoffs help prevent wildfire ignition by de-energizing power lines in high-risk areas, but they can temporarily impact homes, businesses, and essential services.
If you hear of a PSPS warning and want to confirm whether you area of concern, go to SCE at www.sce.com/outage-center/check-outage-status and put in your address.
To stay informed and prepared, residents are encouraged to sign up and check your contact information for PSPS alerts from Southern California Edison. Receiving timely updates allows individuals and families to plan ahead, take necessary precautions, and minimize disruptions to daily life.
